Operational Alchemy​

A Leader's Guide To The Productivity Paradox

Despite heavy investment in advanced technologies, training and improvement projects, productivity gains are shrinking, in some cases, productivity is even declining.

This Is The Productivity Paradox

Simply put, most organisations have become self-constrained to the point that the usual approaches like cutting-edge tools, high levels of effort and increased leadership training are no longer moves the needle.
 
For technically complex industries, like mining, manufacturing, engineering and infrastructure, this shows up in three common ways…

Consistent under Performance

Operations are constantly on the back foot, unable to reliably hit targets, milestones or deadlines

Ineffective/ inefficient operations

Accountability has been lost as processes have become more convoluted as silo mentality has grown.

Increasing frustration/ disillusion

Affecting leaders and teams alike as they fail to see the expected returns on their time, efforts or investments.
Operational costs are only increasing, eroding profit margins.
 
The workforce is becoming increasingly disengaged, all while the market expects more.
 
The result is a dangerous cycle: continued investment in new solutions without addressing the root cause continues to result in diminishing returns.

There Are Good Reasons Why Most Companies Dig Themselves Into A Hole

Facing these headwinds, it can feel impossible to get back on the front foot.
 
It’s no wonder that leaders are constantly searching for instant, silver bullet solutions like expensive new software or process improvement. But these never seem to live up to their promises.
 
To make matters worse, there are so many great models out there from industry heavy-weights like Brené Brown, Simon Sinek and David Marquet. But all of them focus on excelling at one specific thing…

So, Which Is The Right One? Where Should You Start?
